Wireless battery-powered video doorbells are popular for their convenience and ease of installation. Unlike traditional doorbells, these devices do not require complex wiring, making them accessible for DIY enthusiasts.

One of the main advantages is their super simple setup. Homeowners have the flexibility to place the doorbell in the most effective location without being limited by existing doorbell wiring. This is particularly beneficial in older homes where the doorbell wiring may be inadequate or nonexistent.

• Built-in batteries may require removing the entire doorbell unit to recharge.
• Removable batteries offer the convenience of swapping out for charged ones without service interruption.

Experts recommend placing your video doorbell at a height of 48 inches, which is standard to capture clear images of visitors’ faces while being easily accessible for recharging or maintenance.

While these devices are generally DIY-friendly, if you encounter issues related to placement impacting network signal strength, or if your housing structure presents particular challenges, hiring a professional can ensure optimal performance and compliance with building codes.

Regular maintenance and battery management are crucial for the long-term reliability of your doorbell system.
